Proverbs 4:5-15 (American Standard Version)
View In My Bible
5
Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;
6
Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.
7
Wisdom [is] the principal thing; [Therefore] get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.
8
Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.
9
She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.
10
Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.
11
I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.
12
When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.
13
Take fast hold of instruction; Let her not go: Keep her; For she is thy life.
14
Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evil men.
15
Avoid it, pass not by it; Turn from it, and pass on.
